An extensive learning management system created to transform conventional learning and teaching into great interaction between institutions, educators, parents and learners. We help educational institutions to evaluate rather than just to grade. We build trust and transparency in Education and stimulate learners to be actively involved into learning process and to enjoy an engagement of parents.
About the Project
Overview:
- Project team: 15 people
- Delivery date: active development 6 months (MVP)
- Time spent: the project is in progress
Challenge
BeED is a unique product developed by the Bamboo Agile team from scratch. Before starting work on the project, we had to do lots of research to better understand modern educators’ specific needs and to refine the vision of the product. Our goal was to create a powerful SaaS platform embracing curriculum builder, content builder, features for managing learning process and for allowing users to work in collaboration. An important requirement was that the final product should be integrated with BeED Journeys solution on lessons’ creation and the support of outdoor lessons.
Solution
On the backend: using MySQL database for data storage; using Redis data storage for keeping cached data and user sessions, manual and performance testing, creation of server monitoring settings, integration with payment systems; plus FCM integration for subscriptions and push notifications.
On the WEB side: creation of WEB interface for various user roles, slow internet connection support, offline mode, setting up the functionality for sending SMSs in different countries.
On the API side: localizing the system interface into different languages. In addition to the solution, we’ve developed BeED promo website.

With BeED’s Character Builder, educators can now track their learners’ individual character profile over the years, allowing them to better monitor their development as a holistic individual.
Shareable Syllabus Builder
The Syllabus builder allows you to define and set the complete list of topics and subtopics for every course, so that your educators and learners are fully aware of what is required of them at every level. You can even take it to the next level by launching your institution’s syllabus onto the BeED Nexus for others to import.
Mastery-focused Learning Skills Builder
21st Century education isn’t just about learning stone cold facts, but also building transferable skills and mastery over various subjects; with the Learning Skills Builder, educators can pinpoint critical skills that indicate subject mastery, allowing them to focus on methods for improving learning-how-to-learn.
BeED’s Content Builder gives you the freedom to create, organize and share diverse lessons across your institution to ensure fluidity and cohesion of the subject matter taught.
Key Features
Assigning to Expert Educators
Let your subject experts do what they’re great at – crafting and sharing engaging digital lessons designed to bring out the best in every learner. The transparency of these lessons allows educators to learn from each other as well to uphold pedagogical excellence in your institution.
Shareable Template-Ready Lessons
BeED’s Content Builder templates ensure your educators creating engaging and structured lessons that can be directly embedded in other BeED Curriculum, Syllabus, Learning Skills and Character Skills Templates. These original lessons can be exported onto the BeED Nexus to be shared globally for the cross-pollination of best practices.
Conveniently Integrated Link to Timetabler
Directly link digital lessons to specific times and classes for greater convenience and accessibility for both your educators and learners. Students will always be on track to know exactly what they’re going to learn, whenever they’re going to learn.
Transparent Completion Tracker
